MIR. Neale Declines. -Cox's Station,


Charles county, Md, JUNE 18TH lss7.-Edi-
tors Beacen:-My attention has been called to
a local news item in your issue of the 9th in
slant in which you make the announcement
that Captain Loker has appointed A. W,
Ncale, OF Charles county, fireman on the oys-
ter police steamer Governor Thomas" The
use of my name in such connection is entirely
unwarrantable and if Captain Loker has con-
ierred, or intends to confer, such an honor
upon me, it comes upon me very much like
Mark Twain's pension, as undesired as une1-
pccted. Let me add that my appointment to
such position would relieve the gallant Cap
tain from at least one danger incident to
steamboat life, as, he waited for me to start
fire in his furnace, there would never be the
least possible danger ola boiler explosion.
Very truly yours, a. W. Ncale.

inner door presented itself. In this door was
a large hole, through which meals. buckets,

and pulled through it into the passage. Had
he refused to come to the hole the lynchers
would have been delayed in forcing the inner
door, and if time had pressed would, by the
light Of their lamps, have shot him in his
cell. Completely uunerved and overcome
with fear, he obeyed all commands without
remonstrance and without hesitation. Being
a mau Of moderate statue he came through
the hole into the passage where the lyncbers
were grouped without difficulty. Hew I'M
